This interactive session illustrates practical steps for strengthening diversity outcomes in honors. Steps are derived from a multi-year honors reform effort at UW-Eau Claire and best practices observed in other contexts. Attendees will contribute to an engaging discussion of data audits, on-campus partnerships, and long-term commitments to improving diversity outcomes.
